List 4 benefits of using pre-anesthetic drugs prior to induction.
Calm/Sedate enhancing patient comfort and reducing anxiety Minimize adverse reactions of concurrently administered drugs Reduce the dose of concurrently administered agents Produce smoother anesthetic inductions Decrease pain before, during and after Produce muscle relaxation Pre-anethestics are not the same as induction

False
Reversal Drugs generally have a narrow margin of safety. T/F
False
Choose all of the benefits of balanced anesthesia.
Decreases the side effects seen with single-anesthetic protocols, Maximizes drug benefits, Anesthetist has greater control, Use less of each drug with combination

Diazepam
Many anesthetics cause only 1 effect on a patient. T/F
False, Anesthetics cause numerous effects.

False, It is an anticonvulsant
Naloxone should be used after most surgeries to reverse the effects of opioids. T/F
False, Naloxone should only be used if a patient is having ADVERSE effects to opioids. Otherwise, you wouldn't reverse it because you want your patient to have pain control.
